that was just another question you saved me, because I thought that pinging into enemy's grounds would perhaps give my sub away ...

Google 'bathymetry charts' in any region of the planet and you may find 'free' bathymetry views. Today, for our commercial and military purposes, the entire world's oceans are accurately mapped and surprisingly close to the sim for gaming purposes.

Also, I read my fathometer de riguer. The only pinging that might alert warships is foward looking sonar. That signal strength out and return is to be avoided when warships are in the range to listen!

I've always stated people should play the game the way they get the most enjoyment from.

Personally I don't recall having used it other than for testing purposes but that's just me.
